methyl (S)-3-(4-benzyloxybenzenesulfonylamino)-2-(4-methanesulfonylpiperazin-1-yl)propanoate → methyl (S)-3-(4-hydroxybenzenesulfonylamino)-2-(4-methanesulfonylpiperazin-1-yl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.0 g (3.9 mmol) of methyl (S)-3-(4-benzyloxybenzenesulfonylamino)-2-(4-methanesulfonylpiperazin-1-yl)propanoate (prepared as described in example 3.6) in 60 ml of ethanol, 30 ml of dioxane and 0.5 ml of glacial acetic acid is degassed under a nitrogen stream and then 200 mg (10% by weight) of palladium-on-carbon at 10% in suspension in 3 ml of dioxane are added. The reaction medium is placed under a hydrogen atmosphere and stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. After filtration through celite, the filtrate is hydrolyzed and then the product is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with water and then with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. 1.65 g (100%) of methyl (S)-3-(4-hydroxybenzenesulfonylamino)-2-(4-methanesulfonylpiperazin-1-yl)propanoate are obtained in the form of a white solid.
